You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Yes- he is still alive and is 83 years old- birthday 9/16/25. He was born Riley B King. He got the nickname "Beale Street Blues Boy" which was shorted to B.B. This nickname was given to him when he was a singer and disc jokey at the radio station WDIA. This site has his biography
